What is the correct way of saying "I have already done my homework" in Spanish?

Question

I am trying to say the simple sentence below in Spanish. >I have already done my homework Google translate gives me the translation below. >Ya hice mi tarea My attempt is below which after putting into Google translate gives "I have already done my homework". >Ya he hecho mi tarea Is either sentence "better" than the other? How would a native speaker say this?

Answer 1

Both are correct!

Ya hice mi tarea means I already did my homework.

Ya he hecho mi tarea is also right - it just has a slightly different feel, more like “I have already done it.”

Neither one is better - what matters is practicing and saying it with confidence. Repetition is what makes it stick!

Answer 2

They are both correct. The first way is more typical of Latin American Spanish, and in Spain, the present perfect tense, the second way, is more common. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it's been my observation. I hope this helps!
